I’m a degreed mechanical engineer with over 30 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, mechanical design, and engineering leadership. My career spans industries including automotive, consumer products, industrial equipment, and more. This broad background gives me a practical understanding of how to turn ideas into production-ready solutions. I specialize in CAD modeling using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, with deep expertise in design for manufacturability (DFM), tolerance stack-up, BOM creation, and production optimization. Whether you’re prototyping a new product, refining an existing design, or converting legacy CAD files, I bring precision, speed, and real-world insight to every project. My professional history includes roles as a Manufacturing Engineer, Project Engineer, Engineering Manager, Mechanical Designer, and Operations Manager. I’ve led cross-functional teams, improved throughput, reduced tooling costs, and solved complex design challenges under tight deadlines. What I offer: • Production-ready CAD models and assemblies • Legacy CAD file conversion and cleanup • Design optimization for CNC, injection molding, and additive manufacturing • Tolerance analysis and GD&T application • BOM creation and documentation • Remote consulting for manufacturing process improvement I’m available for short-term projects, long-term collaborations, and remote engagements. Let’s make your design not just functional but manufacturable.

As an Autodesk Inventor expert and Mechanical Engineer, I know how to optimize designs for the best weight, cost, and performance. I have worked with companies all over the world, from start-ups to multi-billion dollar corporations. I have multiple certificates in Autodesk Inventor and Vault with a specialization in automation and Product Development. I have over 20 years experience with Autodesk Inventor, over 22 years of programming experience (including 16 years of experience with iLogic and developing Excel VBA spreadsheets for model and drawing automation). Some of my latest projects include: - iLogic script to fully-automate a Product Configurator, capable of handling 49,000,000 unique assemblies and drawings - Tool to automatically publish one or several model(s) and drawing(s) in multiple file file formats - VBA script to directly link the ERP system (SQL database) to the Autodesk Inventor Bill of Material for validation - iLogic script to allow for error-checking, missing information, and update drawing blocks - ... hundreds of other projects that I would be happy to discuss if you have a specific example
